Derivative

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2006)

I had a sensation of déjà vu all along the movie:
1)The main source seems to be "Logan's run" (1976).Lincoln and Sarah are Logan and Jessica and the lottery (how subtle!) replaces the carousel (it is a bit less impressive).And the Sanctuary becomes the Island.The unfortunate(?) inhabitants are all dressed in white,which gives at least one good sequence ,the last one ,although,once again, it's a "Logan's run" rip off...
2)The transplants come directly from Michael Crichton's "coma"(1977),and the huge room with all the bodies also comes from the same film .
3)When they leave the place ,there are snatches of "the village" .Steve Bucemi lets the cat out of the bag then and there is no real surprise afterwards.They should not have revealed the "big" unexpected twist of the movie so soon.
4) How many times have we seen these car chases ?Nothing new under the sun.It was new in "Bullitt" (1968);it was exciting in "speed"(1994) ;now it's simply déjà vu.
5)When Lincoln meets the "real him " ,it is often involuntarily funny and recalls "Multiplicity".
6°And last but not least,the so-called "island in the sun" uses the old Nazi methods!(leave your stuff before entering)
